Brian is officially medically discharged from the Marines :)  yay! He'll be home Oct. 27th. I won't believe it till I actually hug him at the airport. I

No, they couldn't send him back over. He was deemed unfit for duty after the injury. He's been trying to be discharged for a year now. But all the military doc's have been swamped with all the injured Marines. It takes like 2 months just to get in to see an MD, then they have to run their own tests which are scheduled a month later, then you need to come back in and see the doc to review the results. And that's for each specialty. He had to see the neurologist, surgeon, ear nose and throat MD's, psychologist, dermatologist, gastroenterologist, and I think that was it. It was a lot of waiting for appointments/results. Anyhow I get to see him in 4 days and I can't wait! :)
